Dashboard monitor

This brings Google’s new Digital Well-being program, which allows you wean yourself off your device to a reasonable amount. It will help you to ensure you put away the phone from time to time and don’t lose sleep because you didn’t stop scrolling.

Lockdown Mode

This mode lets you, at the push of a button, disable your phone’s fingerprint sensor and trusted voice unlock. You can only use the assigned PIN or pattern to get in.

One handed control

Shortcut controls have been changed so that you can modify them even using the phone one-handed.
